Singer and Songwriter Pedro Abrunhosa at the 1st Liberal Professionals Forum

Over more than 1 000 000 records sold and over 200 concerts in more than 20 countries.

The presence of one of the most recognized stage figures in Portugal highlights the liberal professionals in arts and culture on World Liberal Professions Day. The city of Porto, where the National Association of Liberal Professionals (ANPL) is headquartered, is a city of entrepreneurial traditions coupled with artistic, professional and business innovation.

As such, the ANPL, established two years ago, couldn’t miss the opportunity to hold its 1st Professional Forum there.

Simultaneously, on September 23, World Liberal Professions Day is celebrated. The ANPL’s purpose is to promote and defend liberal professionals, understood as individuals with intellectual qualifications, including those in artistic and cultural fields, fostering their responsibility, autonomy, and independence in the best interest of consumers and the general community.

When discussing arts and culture, Pedro Abrunhosa emerges. He has sold more than 1 million albums and performed in over 200 concerts across 20 countries. Pedro, a liberal professional, a citizen of Porto, Portugal, the world, a traveler, writer, and a stage performer par excellence, will bring his songs in his baggage. He will be accompanied not only by the vast audience he draws but also by the liberal professionals who will be in attendance.

With this event, supported by the Porto City Council, ANPL aims to be accountable to society and the professionals it represents. It intends to foster debate, present its activities and projects to social and institutional partners, as well as distinguished figures in the world of organizational and labor relations, both nationally and internationally.

Themes such as the representation of liberal professionals in Portugal, citizen and consumer interests, the practice of liberal professions in Europe and the world, the status of the liberal professional, and liberal professionals in arts and culture will be addressed and discussed in various multidisciplinary panels.
